We could call you worst things. It's only been the last 4 years that we have had a Coverall to store our salt in. Well we actually have 2, that hold around 150 ton each. For the 20 years before that all we used was big round bale tarps, which worked really well unless it was windy or snowing. When it would snow 6" or more you would spend an hour shovelling the tarp off and boy was that fun.

Actually, there's 30 mexicans----a couple have to share a spreader. The last 2 just use the 5 gallon buckets and a soot shovel. But they get paid well.

Of course this thread is a joke---that's the salt supplier down the road...the pile is about 25 ft tall and 500 long, and then it takes an L shape. They bring it in on the train...the tracks are just out of the picture. That's a T300 on top of the pile--can't see it well, but that must take some stones to drive that thing up there. No idea how many tons are there but I guess a ton is just under a cobic yard so the pile is about 13,888 or so cubic yards. I didnt actually measure it for those who will ask! But 500 long x 30 wide by 25 tall....pretty big pile! And yeah, they get $63 /ton....so thats about $875,000 sitting there. I assume they do have to buy a new tarp once in a while.

I would have ran with it a little further, I was believing everthing. The Mexican's would like the Epoke drop spreader, they work better with bulk salt. LOL
